Member of Super Junior, Kim Kibum announced that he will cast in an upcoming SBS drama series Deep Rooted Tree (directed by Jang Tae Yoo and written by Lee Jung Myung).

Kibum will appear as a character named Park Peng Neyon, who is a scholar. He is one of the old-days version of F4. Other members of the cast are Yu Hyun Su, Jang Hyuk, Shin Se Gyeong, and Han Suk Kyu.

Kibum has not appeared on TV in nearly three years. The last appearance was in the drama series Chun Ja’s Happy Events in 2008. He aroused questions from his fans because he wasn’t active in group Super Junior lately.

Kibum’s announcement to reappear before the public drew a lot of interest.

Meanwhile, Deep Rooted Tree is based on the novel Boorigipeun Namoo by Lee Jung Myung. It is about serial murders of Jiphyeonjeon scholars in the Gyeongbok Palace during the times of King Sae Jong. It will start to air on September 28.
